Proprietary Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
NOTES: The Perrin family, at the head of this estate for four generations, works passionately to continue the history of this growth. Château Carbonnieux Rouge has been a great classic of the Bordeaux region for centuries. With remarkable quality standards, it is the refined expression of a beautiful blend of the grape varieties of this region.
Both modern and traditional, the vinification of the red wines is carried out with slow and gentle extraction so as to preserve their roundness and the mineral typicity of the Pessac-Léognan terroir. The tannins are balanced and silky, in harmony with the red fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, etc.), while revealing toasted notes imparted by aging in high-quality French oak barrels.
Chateau Carbonnieux, usually little affected by frost, suffered a severe frost episode on April 27, 28, and 29. Around 50% of the white grape varieties and 30% of the red grape varieties were affected. Yields were low, but fortunately of very fine quality. The harvest was early and sunny.
The nose is very fruity, with clear notes of cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry. This fruity freshness, which carries through onto the palate, stimulates and lengthens the fine, velvety tannins. The finish is pointed with nuances of cloves and eucalyptus. The wine is balanced and silky.
AGING: 15-18 months in Bordeaux barrels (35% new oak).
ALCOHOL CONTENT: 13.5 %
